Flipbug

The red insects are un-named enemies in Super Mario Galaxy. They are small,winged creatures with Mandibug-style faces found mostly in Honeyhive Galaxy and Gold Leaf Galaxy. They normally flee when the player approaches. After a short period of time they fall onto their backs in fear,and are vulnerable to attack. However,if approached as Bee Mario,they unfold their wings and slowly hover after him. It is unknown why they behave like this.
